Description:
Walsh, Graham L. 'Bradshaw Art of the Kimberley' [Takarakka Nowa Kas Publications, Australia, 2000. Hardcover. Limited First Ed. Signed and Dedicated By the Author. As new. Binding remains perfectly secure; text clean. Large Oblong 8vo. 464pp. The diversity of maps, photographs, rock art silhouettes and drawings show a remarkable degree of coherence in being displayed within the text. Creative use of backgrounds allows the images to stand alone, where appropriate, as works of art. The quality of the photography is superb. The jacquard patterning is effective in enhancing areas of plain text. The tastefully designed endpapers are enhanced by the designs of the section openers. Overall, this production is not only a powerful presentation of a deeply moving form of aboriginal art, but a breathtaking work of artistic book production in its own right. Decorated Endpapers. Hardcover: Leatherette with Paste-down Color Illustration at Front Panel. [Nb: Latest auction record: $6058 incl. Bp]
